Re: Winter Fuel Payment for State Pension recipients

Just checked my online bank account, and mine went in today! I’m paid every 4 weeks, on a Friday.

Re: Winter Fuel Payment for State Pension recipients

Mine was paid into my account yesterday, it's usually around this time in November that it's paid every year. It doesn't much matter to me when it's paid as I give it away anyway!

Re: Winter Fuel Payment for State Pension recipients

I received a letter from the Pensions people today to say, my winter fuel payment will be paid into my account, within the next three weeks.

Perhaps it's random so that no-one can "claim" preference .....

Perhaps it's like retirement first payment dates, they are set by our National Insurance number. When I retired I expected pension payments to commence from my birthday but they did not. Further checking found how that is done.

Nothing is seldom straightforward where the government is concerned, always far more awkward and involved than is often necessary I feel. Try using some of the Inland Revenue websites for VAT or income tax assessment and that soon becomes apparent. Where it would be expected to click on the usual button or similar that is not the case, there may be a column heading that has to be clicked on instead. Confusing? Definitely!

The one exception to that may have been Vehicle Excise licensing. However, it soon becomes obvious that is not so. Those who own vehicles that are exempt as the emissions are below a certain level have to apply to pay nothing every year. What a waste of everybody's time that is and not to comply means a fine as many, including ex-police officers, have found to their cost.
